Terms of Service

Version 1.0 · Effective July 14, 2026

Please note: these Terms include an agreement to resolve disputes through binding individual arbitration and a waiver of class actions (Section 14). Read them carefully before using the App.

1. Acceptance of These Terms

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of Clorasync, a poetic language exploration app for writers and poets (“the App”), provided by the Clorasync team (“we”, “our”, or “us”). By downloading, installing, accessing, or using Clorasync, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated here by reference. If you do not agree to all of these Terms, do not use the App.

We may update these Terms from time to time (see Section 16). Your continued use of Clorasync after updated Terms take effect constitutes your acceptance of the changes.

2. Definitions

In these Terms, the following words have these meanings:

“App” — the Clorasync iOS application.
“Service” — the App, the pages hosted at voyage.clorasync.com, and all related features and services we provide.
“Exploration Features” — functionality that helps you discover related words, tonal directions, poetic moves, verse sketches, definitions, and pronunciations based on the words and refinements you submit.
“User Content” — the scribe name you choose, exploration paths, chronicle records, saved words, wordbook entries, preferences, and other creative material you create in the App. As described in Section 6 and in our Privacy Policy, this content is stored locally on your device and is not uploaded to our servers.
“Query Data” — the limited data sent off your device to power exploration features: your seed word or search term, qualifier or poetic-move selections, and related request parameters needed to retrieve word associations, definitions, or pronunciations.
“Premium” — the optional paid subscription (“Clorasync Premium”) that unlocks subscription-gated features such as unlimited word searches and full exploration tools, as described in the App.
“You” — the individual who downloads, accesses, or uses Clorasync.

3. Description of the Service

Clorasync is a creative writing tool that helps poets and writers explore language by direction rather than by simple synonym lookup. The App includes features such as word exploration, Ink Compass tone steering, poetic moves, Verse Sketch draft lines, Chronicle journey history, and local wordbooks.

Using the App does not require a cloud account. You choose a local scribe name so the App can personalize your experience on your device. We do not operate a traditional username-and-password login system, and we do not require Sign in with Apple to use the App.

Your saved creative work stays on your device. Chronicle chapters, wordbooks, and saved exploration sessions are stored locally on your iPhone or iPad. We do not receive or store your full exploration history on our own servers. This local-storage statement does not apply to the limited Query Data sent to third-party services when you initiate an online lookup.

To provide exploration results, the App may send limited Query Data directly from your device to third-party word and dictionary services, as described in Section 5 and in our Privacy Policy.

Some features require a subscription. Word search and full exploration require an active Clorasync Premium subscription sold through Apple’s App Store in-app purchase system. Apple handles all billing; we do not receive or store your payment card information. Subscription status is validated on your device through Apple StoreKit. Pricing, renewal terms, and included features are shown in the App before you complete a purchase.

The Service is continuously evolving. We may modify, update, enhance, or discontinue any feature at any time. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify you of material changes that significantly affect your use of the Service, but we are not obligated to maintain any specific feature indefinitely.

4. Eligibility

Clorasync is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. You must be at least 13 years old, and old enough under the App Store age rating, to use the App. If you are a minor in your jurisdiction, you may use Clorasync only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms on your behalf. You must not be a person barred from receiving the Service under the laws of the United States or any other applicable jurisdiction.

5. Exploration Features and Third-Party Word Services

Clorasync’s core function relies on Exploration Features powered by third-party linguistic and dictionary services. When you submit a search or select a refinement that requires new results, you instruct the App to send Query Data from your device to services such as Datamuse and Free Dictionary API to retrieve related words, associations, definitions, or pronunciation data. Do not submit personal, confidential, or sensitive information as Query Data.

Only Query Data is sent. We transmit the limited data needed to perform your request — not your full chronicle, wordbooks, or device identifiers.
Results are provided “as is.” Word suggestions, tone readings, and verse sketches may be inaccurate, incomplete, unexpected, or unsuitable for your purpose. We make no guarantee as to the quality, originality, or fitness of any result, and you are responsible for evaluating and editing any output before using it in your work.
Verse Sketch is a drafting aid. Lines generated by Verse Sketch are template-based suggestions woven from your current exploration path and candidate words. They are not professional editorial, legal, or publishing advice.
Provider terms apply. Your use of Exploration Features is also subject to the terms and privacy policies of the third-party services that process Query Data on your behalf.
You control future requests. If you do not want Query Data sent to third-party word services, do not submit an online search. You may stop future transfers by not initiating additional online lookups.
You agree not to use Exploration Features to generate or pursue content that is unlawful or that violates these Terms or applicable provider policies.

If you use voice input, Apple’s speech recognition services may process your spoken words on your device or through Apple’s systems, subject to Apple’s own terms and privacy policies.

6. User Content and Ownership

Your work is yours. You retain all rights to the words, lines, chronicle entries, and other User Content you create with Clorasync. We claim no ownership over your creative work. As described in our Privacy Policy, your User Content is stored locally on your device and is not uploaded to or retained by us.

For the limited Query Data you send for processing, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to transmit and process that Query Data solely for the purpose of operating the Service and returning the results you requested. This narrow license exists only to deliver the feature you asked for and does not extend to your on-device creative content.

You are solely responsible for your User Content and represent that you have the rights necessary to use it and that it does not infringe the rights of others or violate any law.

7. Subscriptions, Billing, and Restore Purchases

Clorasync Premium is an auto-renewable subscription billed through your Apple ID account. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Your subscription automatically renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple ID account settings.

If you reinstall the App or move to a new device, you may use the “Restore Purchases” feature in the App to restore an eligible subscription associated with the same Apple ID. We do not guarantee that every purchase can be restored in every circumstance, especially if the Apple ID, product configuration, or App Store records do not match.

8. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

Use Clorasync for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms;
Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, interfere with, or gain unauthorized access to the App or its subscription controls;
Use automated tools to access the Service, or abuse, overload, or attempt to circumvent usage limits or subscription restrictions;
Use the Service to generate or pursue content that is illegal or that infringes the rights of others;
Circumvent any technical measure we use to enforce these Terms, or resell, sublicense, or redistribute the Service without our written permission.

9. Intellectual Property

The Clorasync App, its design, branding, and software are owned by us and protected by applicable intellectual property laws. Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download and use one copy of the App on Apple devices you own or control, for your personal, non-commercial use.

If you provide us with suggestions, ideas, or feedback about the Service (“Feedback”), you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable license to use and incorporate that Feedback without any obligation to you.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free, that defects will be corrected, or that results obtained from the Service will be accurate, original, or reliable.

11. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF CLORASYNC, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED FIFTY DOLLARS ($50). Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above may not apply to you.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless us and our officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from or relating to your use of the Service, your User Content, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any applicable law or third-party rights.

13. Termination and Survival

You may stop using Clorasync at any time by deleting the App. Deleting the App removes User Content stored locally on your device, subject to any iOS system behavior outside our control.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service, with or without notice, if you violate these Terms, if required by law, or if necessary to protect the security or integrity of the Service. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination will survive.

14. Third-Party Services

Clorasync relies on third-party services to operate, including Apple (App Store distribution, in-app purchases, speech recognition, and text-to-speech), Datamuse (word association queries), public dictionary APIs (definitions and phonetics), and other infrastructure needed to deliver exploration results. Your use of these services is subject to their respective terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or practices of third-party services. See our Privacy Policy for how data is handled.

15. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, USA, without regard to its conflict of laws principles.

Informal Resolution

Before filing any formal dispute, you agree to first contact us at immordinobloodgood@gmail.com and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days.

Binding Arbitration

If informal resolution fails, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of Clorasync shall be resolved through binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its applicable rules, unless otherwise required by applicable law.

Class Action Waiver

You and we agree that each may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, consolidated, or representative proceeding.

16. Force Majeure

We are not liable for any failure or delay in performing our obligations under these Terms where the failure or delay results from events beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, pandemics, acts of war or terrorism, government actions, civil unrest, power or internet outages, cyberattacks, or failures of third-party service providers.

17. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be posted here with a new version number and effective date, and we will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify you through the App where appropriate. Continued use of Clorasync after changes take effect constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree to the modified Terms, stop using the Service.

18. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect, and the invalid provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable while preserving its original intent.

19. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding your use of Clorasync and supersede any prior agreements, understandings, or representations regarding the Service.
